In TSCONV-01, we have took JSC-JTC pairs off.

For the benefit 1, people can use Kanji or Hanja to interconnet amoung TC
and SC.
For 2, TSCONV intend to reduce 2^n , every one do not have to register 2^n
For 3,  every one need reliable and predicable hostname resolving

Why is n*2 or n*4?  It is possible maximum 2^n problem.

Of course, it is not the goal of ISO 10646. It just collect all the Han
ideograph.
It do not offer any TC/SC tag or TC/SC relationship.

In the TSCONV-01, the authority is from
A Complete Ser of Simplified Chinese Characters
and
Dictonary of Chinese Characters Variant
